From 15 October, the Bournemouth Dignity Centre will close for one month as we begin transitioning to a new model of support.

We have been working closely with members and partners to make sure people know where they can access support and to help maintain continuity.

In the meantime, members will also be able to find us at ICN’s Migrant Hub on Monday afternoons from the beginning of November.

When the space reopens, it will no longer operate as a drop-in support centre. Instead, it will be a base for administration, activities and training for our new pilot project, Dignity on the Move. The project is envisioned as a flexible model that can bring practical support, signposting and connections to local services to communities across South West England, closer to the people who need them.

For now, a huge thank you to our members, volunteers, partners and supporters in Bournemouth who continue to help us build a community where people seeking safety are welcomed and supported with dignity.

🤫 Silence for a Cause

On 31st January, our students will take on a powerful challenge to support the Dignity Centre, a refugee charity here in Bournemouth.

They’ll choose between:

🔇 12 hours of complete silence
📵 24 hours without digital devices

By staying silent, they will make a big noise for compassion, community spirit, and change - raising vital funds and awareness for displaced people in need.

We are proud to see our students making a difference 💛
